Newly Renovated Fisherman's Cottage Close to the Waters Edge
Located in Pretty Seaside Village near Falmouth
Sleeps 6 (3 Bedrooms)
|
|
The Blue House is a traditional Cornish fisherman's cottage that has been completely refurbished to a 5 star standard for 2010, situated just metres from the quayside slipway in Flushing Village. Flushing is perfectly located to explore all of Cornwall. Many Cornish villages have become over crowded with tourists, but Flushing is much quieter, even during peak season. Unlike Mevagissey, Fowey, Padstow, St Ives and similar towns, parking is easily available, either outside the house or in a car park at the end of the street. Unfortunately, many Cornish holiday cottages are tired and tatty, with dated kitchens and bathrooms, antiquated heating and hot water systems, charity shop furniture and uncomfortable beds. We have set out to provide something special at The Blue House, somewhere that is guaranteed to offer our guests a spotlessly clean, comfortable, high-quality holiday retreat that you will want to return to again and again.

Coast/Beach
Flushing even has it's own beach! The beach is a mixture of sand and shingle and there is a small area of grass suitable for picnics. Like the other small river beaches nearby it is rarely crowded. There are fantastic walks around the headland to Mylor Yacht Harbour. The beach is perfect for picnics, playing with the kids, or just relaxing. During Flushing regatta week it plays host to the famous sandcastle building competition. Access is easy and the beach is dog friendly all year.
Special interest holidays
From Flushing there is easy access onto some of the best sailing waters anywhere in the West Country, with the Helford River, the Fal Estury, Falmouth Bay and Mylor Yacht Harbour all within reach. Flushing has a Sailing Club that welcomes guests, and boat rentals can be arranged at Mylor Yacht Harbour or from Falmouth Yacht Brokers in Penryn. There are nearby schools for surfing, wind surfing and dinghy sailing.
Travel
Flushing is easy to reach by car. Penryn is the nearest rail station and connects to mainline services at Truro, which has a direct rail link to London (Paddington) with a journey time of approximately 4 hours. Air travellers can fly from London Stansted or Gatwick to Newquay. There is also a regular local bus service.
Distances
A passenger ferry runs a regular service between Flushing and Falmouth. It also connects with the ferries to St Mawes, Mylor, Trelissick and Truro. In summer the Fal River boats offer trips to the gardens of Trebah and Glendurgan, and onwards to Truro. A local water taxi service also runs around the bay.
Further details
Unlike many waterside Cornish towns, Flushing remains something of a secret to the majority of tourists - the village is much quieter in holiday season than towns such as Mevagissey, St Ives and Padstow. Because of this parking is generally not an issue, with plenty of spaces in the immediate vicinity and a small car park at the end of the street. Flushing Village is said to be one of the warmest villages in the UK because it has an idyllic sheltered south-facing aspect, between the banks of the Penryn River and Falmouth Harbour. It became popular in the 18th century as the choice location for the wealthy Packet Ship captains, and was visited by Admiral Nelson. Latterly it has become one of the most sought-after locations anywhere in the West Country.
Flushing has an unrivalled mild climate, streets lined with picture-postcard traditional terraced fisherman’s cottages, and beautiful unspoilt surrounding countryside. The village has two friendly pubs - The Royal Standard, which was recently renovated and offers excellent food, and The Seven Stars, a more traditional pub with an equally extensive menu. There is also an award-winning restaurant located on the quayside, a well-stocked general store, and a farm shop selling local produce.
The Flushing Regatta and Flushing Art Week are two unique annual fixtures not to be missed that the whole community embraces!

Year purchased: 2010
Why the owner chose a home in this location
Having holidayed in Flushing many times in the past few years we fell in love with the village and it's unique and vibrant community. It was an easy decision to buy a property here when we were lucky enough to be able to purchase a holiday house of our own. The Blue House is our home from home, and I know that you will enjoy being there as much as my partner and I and our Golden Retriever Nelson do. The locals are very friendly and the two pubs and the restaurant on the quayside all serve fantastic food.
